An incomplete list of what we would choose if we had to pick a portable item as a symbol of our country:
a rose seed because it's the state flower
my mother's ring because it's beautiful and she's had it a long time
money
the American flag
Bakugan
my father's box of jewelry (his father was a jeweler)
something that's been passed down from generation to generation
my family's lilac bush from Germany
(Please add to these--I know I'm forgetting some great ones!)
The Lotus Seed on Reading Rainbow
